Wellness for
Overhead Athletes

Keeping overhead athletes healthy, powerful, and competition-ready through customized strength and mobility programming that supports long-term performance.

Who is this for?

Softball Team Lineup

At Next Flight Rehab, we work with overhead athletes who want to stay strong, healthy, and explosive in their sport without nagging pain, setbacks, or performance limitations getting in the way.

​

You might be looking for support if you:

  • Feel recurring shoulder or back tightness that shows up every time you throw, swing, or lift

  • Notice stiffness or pain with overhead motions, especially during baseball, softball, volleyball, swimming, or golf

  • Have tried rest, massage, or basic PT but still don’t feel confident pushing your performance

  • Feel like pain or restriction is changing your mechanics and you’re worried it might lead to a bigger injury

  • Want guidance from a PT who understands overhead mechanics, power production, and sport-specific performance

  • Are motivated to get stronger and more resilient, but don’t know how to train without making things worse

 

If you’ve been told to “just stretch more” or to back off completely, but you know that won’t solve the root cause; you’re in the right place.

How can we help?

Through performance-focused wellness programming, Jacob delivers targeted training designed specifically for overhead athletes who want to maintain strength, prevent injury, and continue progressing long after rehab ends.

​

These sessions blend physical therapy principles with high-level strength and conditioning giving athletes a structured, evidence-based plan to keep performing at their best.

​

Here’s what we focus on:

  • Build Strength & Power: Sport-specific training to improve throwing velocity, overhead control, core stability, and rotational power.

  • Improve Mobility & Mechanics: Targeted mobility and movement work for the shoulder, spine, and hips to help you move efficiently and safely.

  • Prevent Pain & Setbacks: Performance programming designed to manage workload, reduce reinjury risk, and keep you healthy through every season.

 

Every session is one-on-one, personalized, and built around your sport, your goals, and your body’s needs no generic programming, no overcrowded classes, and no guessing.

 

Programs are available in person and remotely, making it easy to stay consistent and continue progressing whether you’re in-season, off-season, or returning from injury.
